Current affairs program 60 Minutes has launched a scathing attack on the Catholic Church, saying senior officials are "out of touch" and have alienated victims of sexual abuse by issuing statements in support of Cardinal George Pell.
As the program opened on Sunday night, journalist Tara Brown began an editorial that suggested
"The Catholic Church in Australia stands in crisis," Brown declared within the first ten seconds of the program.
"The men who lead it have put themselves on a collision course with the victims of child sexual abuse by expressing their unfailing support for George Pell."
Last week, the program interviewed Peter Saunders, a member of the commission that advises the Pope on the protection of children, who made a number of allegations about Cardinal Pell relating to whether he had knowledge of the actions of paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale.
